Satan’s Lies

Sue’s Views
A lie the enemy loves to tell us is that we don’t deserve God’s love and forgiveness! He keeps reminding us of what we did ….. or what happened to us ….. and we wrap ourselves in layers of guilt and shame. We harden our hearts in order to protect ….. but in reality we separate ourselves from others ….. and from the One who longs to heal us. All God requires is that we acknowledge our sin and ask His forgiveness! It’s time for the walls to come down!

Warning Signs

Sue’s Views
I wonder how often we ignore the warning signs ….. and then blame God when we get into trouble? He has clearly told us how to live. Even if you don’t own a Bible ….. He has written it on your heart! We all know right from wrong. He also spelled out the consequences of disobedience. What an amazing Dad! He’s for you ….. not against you. He wants you to be blessed ….. not cursed! It’s not too late to turn around and do life His way!

Fine Apart From A Few Showers!

Sue’s Views
Spring is just around the corner! Here are a few pics from my walk yesterday. Even though there could (and most likely will) be more wintery days ahead ….. the signs of spring are already here! It’s amazing how much better we feel when the sun is shining ….. but the fact is ….. everything is still the same even when it’s raining! We are just looking at it through a different filter. How’s your outlook today? My son ….. when asked how he was ….. used to say ‘I’m fine apart from a few showers!’ That’s what I call a bright forecast!

Prodigals

Sue’s Views

This photo reminds me of the song about the little ducks that ‘went swimming one day, over the hills and far away.’ Do you have a ‘prodigal duck’ that despite much ‘quacking’ is not coming back? Take comfort in knowing that God ….. who loves them more than you do ….. will allow them to get stuck in a bog until they come to their senses. He’s right there with them ….. and they are learning the most valuable lessons life can teach them. Like the prodigal son in the Bible ….. one day they will realise they need to return to their Father.

You Are An Overcomer!

Sue’s Views
This pic brings back some painful memories of school sports days! I would keep going to the back of the queue until the teacher cottoned on and made me jump. I would tell myself ‘I can’t do this!’ before I tried and hence a few scraped knees! If we want to be overcomers ….. we have to have something to overcome! And life presents us with plenty of opportunities! If you have no challenge today ….. you soon will have! But remember that however huge the obstacles are ….. God is so much bigger. Put your trust in Him and you will overcome!

‘Between A Rock And A Hard Place?’

Sue’s Views
Do you feel like you’re between a rock and a hard place? I want to encourage you to look ….. not at your circumstances ….. but what is within you. When God created you ….. He put everything in you that you would ever need to be all He created you to be. Within you are purpose ….. potential ….. gifting ….. strength and endurance. Nothing can stop God’s purpose being fulfilled ….. except you! Don’t tell God how big your circumstances are. Tell your circumstances how BIG your God is!

Breaking The Cycle

Sue’s Views
Whose footsteps are you following? Are you repeating patterns of destruction ….. or continuing a legacy of blessing? If you recognise negative cycles in your life or in your bloodline ….. they can end with you! Acknowledging them is the first step. Change is never easy but you can change the direction not only for yourself but for future generations. Remember ….. someone is following in your footsteps

Don’t Be In A Rush!

Sue’s Views
It always amazes me how something that looks like a dried up onion can become these beautiful spring flowers. The secret is being hidden underground for a time! During this time ….. so much is happening in that dark place to release the potential that’s within the bulb. If you are in a dark place ….. rejoice! It means God is giving you roots ….. and stripping away the external stuff that limits your growth. At the right time ….. the real ‘you’ will emerge. Don’t be in a rush!

He’s All You Need!

Sue’s Views
When you feel like everything has been stripped away ….. and you are down to the bare essentials ….. you will find that the bare essentials are enough! One of my favourite verses in the Bible says, “Once I was young but now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly forsaken or their children begging for bread.” He is everything you’ll ever need!
